November 21, 201015 yr Hello, Does anyone know where I can get several mini VR potentiometers for my Saitek Throttle. The spiking is horrible and I just exceeded the 2 years. Yes it is the potentiometers I've checked with a meter which shows 2 out of three are defective. Please can anyone help, I've scoured the internet. Email meThanks Steven Higa from Oxford England
November 21, 201015 yr You will probably be easier off just buying new ones. I think they are to be had for around 40€.
November 21, 201015 yr Well, mine is failing too. It's not only the spiking, when I push the throttle axis (left axis), my flaps (center axis) move with it. pretty annoying
November 21, 201015 yr It goes by far, that Saitek throttles are the worst piece of hardware I ever bought. But nevertheless, MUCH cheaper than any other similar solution.

November 28, 201015 yr If i remember correctly, i read à post here that someone rotated the axis of the pots 180 degrees further. That removed the spikes. Lennart

This applies to anything, not just FS hardware.
